Julie, I just want to thank you for marrying this man of great vison and compassion. May God give you the strength to carry you through your time of sorrow. Remember the good days. I truly believed that you were like two kids in love. May it bring you comfort to know that people love you and are praying for you. The Lord doesn’t make any mistakes. Just thank the Lord for the time he allowed you to have him in your life. May the Lord Bless you and keep you. Jack had a lot of knowledge that he was willing to share and I’m grateful that I had a chance to meet him and hear some of his thoughts and ideas for the Town of Century.
My dear Julie, Jack is with the angels. I miss his great bear hugs and friendly happy voice. The Lord is with you and your family now and always. Love, Linda

OH my god i just read my email.. Julie I am so very sorry… I Love You so very much.. and the time i met Jack i knew he was s sweet… I Love you!!! Noel
Mr. Jack was a good person. I was referred to him by a good friend of mine about starting a business. I called him, and he agreed to meet with me. I was so nervous. He was very down to earth. After we talkd about my thoughts of a business, he asked me what did I have to offer towards the business. I thought about the question, while I was thinking, he asked me am I a GOD FEARING PERSON and I told him yes, and he told me that I had alot to offer to the business. That question stuck with me for a long time I was totally shocked when I read the news about Mr. Jack. I feel that Mrs. Julie Booth-Moran couldn’t have TRUSTED a better funeral home than the one she decided to trust with the handlings of Mr. Moran. I believe and know that Mrs. Sandra and her wonderful staff will take care of Mr. Moran and his family PROPERLY. May he rest in peace
We will miss Jack. He has been a great friend and we are grateful that both he and Julie entered our lives. Julie is a strong Christian woman and we know that God is with her and the family. With great love and respect, …David and Susan
